Recent research has uncovered a link between first trimester use of SSRIs and omphalocele, a rare birth defect in which the internal organs and/or intestines protrude from the baby’s navel. Canadian researchers first discovered the link in 2005 after conducting an analysis of data from the National Birth Defects Prevention study. Then in June 2007, the New England Journal of Medicine published research findings that confirmed this link.

According to the most recent research, the use of SSRIs—particularly Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, and Prozac—during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of omphalocele in newborns. The research also showed a link between SSRI use during pregnancy and two other birth defects—craniosynostosis and anencephaly.

Why Contact an Omphalocele Lawyer?

SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are a widely prescribed class of drugs, and their makers are obligated to perform adequate safety studies and provide accurate labeling to ensure patients understand all the associated risks. However, this is all too often not the case.

By contacting an omphalocele lawyer, you can learn more about holding an SSRI maker responsible for your family’s financial losses and emotional suffering. In some cases, families are able to recover damages including:

• Medical and related costs
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• More

An omphalocele lawyer will evaluate your claim and determine your eligibility to take legal action against the drug’s maker. If it is determined that you have a viable claim, an omphalocele lawyer will file a lawsuit on your family’s behalf and pursue your interests throughout the legal process.

In some cases, this requires negotiating with the defense to obtain a fair settlement, and sometimes it requires taking your case to trial. Either way, an omphalocele lawyer will provide you with the support and legal guidance necessary to ensure you and your family get the justice you deserve.

Contact an Omphalocele Lawyer Today

Your claim is subject to a statute of limitations (a law governing the time you have to take action), so it’s crucial to contact an omphalocele lawyer as soon as possible. Contact us today to arrange a FREE case evaluation with an omphalocele lawyer who can answer your questions, address any concerns, and help you explore your legal options.
